When it comes to reflecting on reality, having to
choose between solely my perception of it or reality as it is on its own, are
both problematic. The former is insufficient, while the latter is inaccessible.
My perception is related to reality, but also distinct from it. One of the ways
that I know this is because sometimes I get it right and sometimes I get it
wrong. I either correctly or erroneously interpret reality and each can have
consequences. Surely, reality is more than merely an awareness of my valid or
inaccurate interpretations, but it is not less.
